Customisation and product variation place high demands on manufacturing. With variant management in direct MES, you can easily handle different sizes, materials and colours in a single system. AMS helps you maintain control and profitability when customers require tailored solutions.

Managing product variation without complexity

In modern manufacturing, it is common to offer multiple versions of the same product, such as different sizes, materials, or colours. Variant management in direct MES provides the tools to organise all variants into a single structured product group, keeping production flows easy to manage.

Complete oversight with direct MES

direct MES allows you to define and manage product variants without adding complexity to planning or production. For example, in the furniture industry, you can create material options like fabric, leather or various base designs as separate variants within a product group. In contrast, base prices and variant price adjustments are automatically transferred to ERP. This enables customers to get customised products without losing control of production.

One system for all variants

When manufacturing is tailored to customer requirements, direct MES ensures that changes to variants and product structures are updated swiftly and accurately. These updates are seamlessly communicated to workstations, guaranteeing that operators always have the correct information. The ERP pricing structure is automatically revised for both the base product and variant additions.

Customisation that pays off

By consolidating all product variants into a single system, you avoid manual handling, reduce errors and increase profitability for customised products. direct MES equips manufacturing companies with a powerful tool to offer variety without sacrificing efficiency or quality.

With Variant Management in direct MES, the production of customised products becomes simple, profitable and easy to oversee.
